Why Our Farmers Fail.

wish to write II few lines on the
failure of Southern farmers. | think
that many of them fail by mistaking
their vocation and by trying to take
hold of things that nature did not in
tend them to manage Others carry
high head and say by their actions
that they know rs much rs any class
Of men on the earth. They will take
no ones advice, neither do they try
to learn any thing of agriculture or
horticulture. Every farmer who would
succeed should take trustworthy ag-
ricultural journal, and in that he will
see where farmers have gone over SIM
liar roads. and that one road and
ono alone will lead him TO true
success, as all other paths are
reaching in different direction.
Some of them say that farming is
too poor business for them Now
what causes them to think SOP Ii is
because many poor farms are being
cleared, bad management displayed.
going in debt and giving mortgages
INDUCED in, buying things they have
no use for, not saving what they make.
and wasting what they finally harvest.
For example, much good hay is lost
each year on the ditch-ba and in the
bottoms which overflow with water
during the summer season. Every
farmer should SOW oats, and be sure to
prepare the land we'll before so doing.
When the oats are changing nicely, if
they are wanted for feed, they should
be harvested and all the straw saved
for the cattle during cold weather.
Farmers boys, by all means, should
not be raised to spend
in fishing, hunting and other
amusements the time that ought to be
devoted to the cultivation of their
crops. The time is not far distant
when there will come out of such
homes honored men and useful women
10 occupy wider spheres of influence.
1t will be pleasing to the parents of
such children, when they grow old and
their heads are blcssoming for the
grave, to resign their places of trust
and usefulness, both in private and
public life, TO sons and daughters
reared to habits of industry, sobriety,
virtue and mental culture. u G. L.,

Selling Beef.

The man whose live cattle 60 on the
Wholesale market these days at $4 so
per cwt. can feel rs though he has
achieved something out of the usual
line--for in these gloomy cattle times
such sales are rare. These same cat
tie get into the hands of the city
butcher at q figure very little higher,
and it is prime lot of stock indeed
which comes into last hands at as
much as S475 Could the farmer
whose cattle are thus disposed of fol-
low them on into the retail meat mar
ket and seq the prices which the un-
fortunate city consumers pay for what
he feels that he has almost given away,
his eyes would bulge out with aston
ishment. Tenderloln, sirloin and por-
terhouse steaks at 20 cents, choice
roasts and rounds at Is cents, and
common roasts at II cents. are current
prices in all city markets. These
prices are. under the circumstances.
simply outrageous; and when it is re-
msmbered that the bulk of the cattle
slaughtered are bought at 81 per cwt.

glaring. Consumers are getting no

PATRIOTIC OLD ABE.


Some Interesting Information About the
Famous Wisconsin Bird.
"Old Abe," the whilom war eagle of the
Eighth regiment, Wisconsin volunteers, is
one Of the attractions in the collection OF
war relics at the Exposition building. He
is only stuffed and doesn't look as big as
when he accompanied the eagle regiment
on Southern battle fields. A wooden tab
let attached to his perch bears this in
scription: "Hatched February, 1861; died
March 90, 1884,"
E. II. Webster, of Greenbusch, Sheboy-
gan County, Lieutenant of Company lB,
of the Eighth regiment, gave q Milwaukee
Sentinel reporter some information about
the old bird. "When our company came
into camp at Madison we were told by the
men Of Company C, who brought the
eagle with them from Eau Claire, that he
was taken from his nest by an Indian and
presented to them by him. have read a
more romantic tale of his capture since
then, but this story is undoubtedly
correct, as nobody then thought OF in.
venting the pleasant fictions about the IA
nous eagle which have since become so
numerous. Our regiment broke camp at
Camp Randall, in compliance with an or
der to go to Missouri, and while marching
through st. Louis the eagle broke its
string and flew away. We all thought
that that was the last we would see OF
him, and Colonel Murphy offered to give
twenty five dollars to any one who would
bring him back. You know Murphy, don't
your lie left our regiment and was put in
rhorUa ~ brio nd dared r
the battle Of Holly Springs. But am di-
crossing.
"While in Camp Curtis, at st. Louis, one
of the boys pointed up into the air at a
large bird which was approaching up, and
said that he'd bet that it was sold Abe"
We fixed a perch ON a camp chest, and
very soon the eagle sailed down and took
his place on the perch. He had been fish
ing, and was as wet as rat. We put
him on a string again, and sometimes let
h m go, as he was always sure of re-
turning. Occasionally we let him loose
during an engagement, and then he would
fly about overhead or sit quietly on his
perch. believe tho confederates brought
down some Of his feathers once. and after
that he always screamed and acted mad
when fight was going on. General Price,
of the Confederates, once said he would
rather capture the eagle than the whole
regiment.
"'Old Abe was nuisance In some re-
spects. He was thieving bird, and when
the rations were distributed he had to be
watched or he would steal the best NOR
sells away. He liked beef and all kinds OF
meat when there was scarcely any for the
boys. He was up to all sorts of mischief,
and wounded some of the boys who were
spared by rebel bullets. They would
plague him and he would peg at them
frequently drawing the blood"
After the regiment returned from the
war "Old Abe" was well cared for at Mad
ison until his death, which ensued from
natural causes.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Sheep Husbandry in Arkansas.


We often receive inquiries of the
practicability of sheep-raising here in
Arkansas. There is at least three
fifths of our State that is well-adaptsd
to sheep-raising, and about two-iifths
Of it that could hardly be exceled if we
were to look the world over. That is
with reference to the natural conditions
and facilities. The time is not far dis
tant either, when the improvement of
those conditions. as result of the ac-
ton Of the people, will still better fit
our country for sheep husbandry. The
greatest drawback is the worthless cur.
But his master is becoming civilized.
and that means the extinction Of the
canine. The worthless dog is one of
the relics of barbarism that refined
civilization always rids itself OF, and
we believe our people are slowly work
ing up to that stage of refinement.
Here, on the foothills of the Ozark
Mountains, among the alternating hills
and valleys, is the natural home of
the sheep, and not even Penn
sylvania or Ohio affords so fine
natural facilities for the success
full prosecution of the industry. True
is it that sheep-raising is not extensive
ly followed here, but what has been
done in a limited way has gone to
make a practical demonstration that
the splendid indications will be borne
out in practice. The health OF sheep
here is first-class, there rarely ever
being any disease among them. This,
though, would naturally be inferred
and taken MS aself-cvidcnt proposition
from consideration of the high and
dry ranges, the pure water and at
mosphere, and the equability of the
temperature. If sheep become dis.
eased here nature is not to blaTe fol
1t. AT the present time, and for some
years to come, almost all of the forage
to keep them perfectly fat they will
find in most localities on the open
ranges. Tho little necessary supple
ment to this, small amount of some
OF the very productive soil 10 b.
found on any farm Oh
sheep ranch that may be Sc
lected will bountifully produce. 1
not produced it can be bought cheap
ly, and if dear, the total bill would no
be large, for there is not much wanted
But the most profitable sheep-raisins
will be in connection with regular
agriculture. There are here many very
productive tracts of farm lands in tn,
small valleys with mountain and hill
side ranges on either side. With
large herd of sheep such farm could b
kept productive and even improved
as the years roll on, and the owner b

somely during all of the time he wa

much of mistake made if one come

One of the greatest troubles in
feeding poor grain, is not in the loss

the fact that over-heated or musiy

The New Cotton Crop.

The New Orleans Cotton Worlds re-
port of the crop for the month of Sep
TENDER says: "A prominent feature of
last month has been the almost un-
broken continuation of dry weather
over pretty much the entire belt, fore
ing the fruit to maturity, and enabling
a rapid gathering of the staple, and at
the same time destroying. except in y
few sections, the prospect for top
crop. As result of such conditions
the quality of the product is high.
though in localities there is some COM
plant Of recent heavy rains damaging
The cotton and in others of depreda-
tions by worms. Many of our
correspondents allude to the un-
usual lightness Of the staple
and the difficulty of making

an improved yie'd over last year Tho
other states show great depreciation
from last month, the falling off being
more marked in Tennessee and Arkan-
sas. Picking will be virtually over

before the close of October. and even
in those sections extending beyond
that time the picking season will end

only wonder that they submit in
patience to the extortion practice |
upon them by the retailers of meat.
And, by the way, butchers are in q
measure overreach'ng themselves in
this display of greed. for it is aiding
Western beef operators in pushing the
sale of their cheaper meats to the East

altogether as high rs it did when cattle
were costing two cents per pound more

that butchers made any more COM

Hints to Poultry Raisers.

Let our egg ard poultry-prodncing
farmers realize that in their own field
there Is plenty of room to enlarge and
improve. There is more money in
producing eggs at twenty cents per
pound, broilers at forty cents per
pound, and good fat capons at eighteen
cents per pound than in entering the
now well-iilled field of fanciers 20 sell
choice eggs at two dollars per sitting
and good birds at five dollars per pair.
The prices we have named for the
food products may be obtained
in any city, and the demand
is beyond the supply year after
year. ard is likely TO continue so. Fan
cicrs find prices iluctuating and uncer-
tain. or, rather. after fixing their own
prices they often find the demand falls
off Unexpectedly, and the cost of stock
and advertising and extra care are
not sometimes realized in whole sea-
sons sales. The trade for fancy eggs
does not continue over three months.
Fresh eggs are in demand the year
round; so are choice fowls. -Ndtionat
